Is it true you can have both ADHD and CPTSD? My psychologist said it’s not possible.

Title pretty much sums it up; I went to get evaluated for ADHD and the psychologist said because I have CPTSD, there’s no way I could have ADHD as well. I tried to explain my ADHD symptoms that existed as a child but because I was abused as a child, she hand-waved it all away as CPTSD.

Now I feel stuck and unable to get treatment for my ADHD symptoms. I know there is a bunch of overlap in ADHD and CPTSD symptoms, so how did your psychologist sort it out and diagnose you with both?

Edit: Wow, so many of you commented to share your insights and experiences!!! Thank you all so much! I’m going to look into getting a second opinion and advocate for myself and for the treatment of my symptoms.
